I think it's both. You need to act professionally (putting aside |
| 36 |
differences, etc), AND you need to be disruptive, abusive, rude (at the |
| 37 |
minimum), at best you should also be polite, friendly, cooperative. The |
| 38 |
reason I say both are needed is because it's easy to act professional |
| 39 |
but still be abusive (a coworker going over every commit you make with a |
| 40 |
fine toothed comb for instance). On the other hand it's also possible |
| 41 |
to be friendly without being professional about things (a coworker not |
| 42 |
being focused on work). |
